I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is superbly located right on Mirror Lake, making it convenient for exploring all that Lake Placid has to offer. The rooms are spacious and modern, equipped with amenities like a Keurig coffee maker, and the bathroom facilities are simply wonderful. The view from my room was breathtaking, truly adding to the overall experience. Service was top-notch with staff who were not only very helpful in making some adjustments on our reservation but also friendly and accommodating; they even fulfilled our request to stay an extra night. The dining experience was a true delight, especially with the organic pulled pork dish. On the downside, the pricing could be a bit steep for some, and while the facilities were excellent, it's worth noting that air conditioning was not available in every area.
